01:038:024 And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told
Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the
harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And
Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
01:038:025 When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law,
saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she
said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and
bracelets, and staff.
01:038:026 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more
righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my
son. And he knew her again no more.
01:038:027 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold,
twins were in her womb.
01:038:028 And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out
his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a
scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
01:038:029 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold,
his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken
forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called

01:038:030 And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet
thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
01:039:001 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer

the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down
thither.
01:039:002 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and
he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
01:039:003 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the
LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
01:039:004 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he
made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put
into his hand.
01:039:005 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him
overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD
blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the
blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house,
and in the field.
01:039:006 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not
ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was
a goodly person, and well favoured.
01:039:007 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife
cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
01:039:008 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my
